Optimist kit by air freight


Packed and steel strapped,we have worked hard to get the weight when packed inside our 75kg weight estimate but failed by some nine kilos,I do hope the client understands and agrees to pay the extra airway charges?the three parcels make up one Optimist kit.


This is another Optimist kit we have ready for collection by another customer,note that the building jig does not have the cut outs to save weight,basicaly what you see is what is in the large flat pack we have ready to ship to Spain.


The Optimist kit being prepared,note the circular cut outs in the chipboard building stocks,we saved some 3.6kgs in weight by doing this.

Our customer Federico in Spain took the faster option to air freight his Optimist kit,saving him the time taken for a vessel to sail to his destination,the kit was packed yesterday,we are now waiting for it to be collected pending fumigation,it will then be on its way to Madrid.With this type of packing we needed to save weight,so this kit was freed off from its 'mother board' as its no use shipping the scraps?
